Three faculty vacancies filled for next year
by G.W. Smith
Bethel administrators have
secured three new full-time facul-ty
members for next year and are
interviewing candidates for five
additional full-time positions.
Of the three new faculty mem-bers
already contracted are Dr.
Steve McNeel, professor of psy-chology,
Dr. William Smalley,
professor of linguistics and John
Sailhamer, assistant professor of
Old Testament.
Five permanent positions re-main
to be filled in business,
physical education, physics,
mathematics and biology.
The eight long-term positions,
six approved by the Board of Re-gents
for next year and two re-maining
unfilled from last year,
will accompany several tempora-ry
positions replacing eight facul-ty
members away on sabbatical
next year and two faculty mem-bers
on leave of absence.
According to Dr. George
Brushaber, dean of Bethel Col-lege,
two of those temporary posi-tions
are as department chairmen
in social work and economics.
There is the chance, said
Brushaber, that either or both of
those positions could become
permanent.
Other openings to be filled are
in education, music and sociolo-gy.
Selecting a new faculty member
is an involved process, said Brush-aber,
and includes locating the
most qualified candidate, receiv-ing
references and then inviting
that candidate to Bethel for a day
or two.
During that campus visitation
the prospective candidate teaches
a class, meets with the majors of
the department, meets with
department and division faculty,
and then meets with at least six
people from other departments
and positions.
The faculty appointment, pro-motion
and tenure committee
then takes that information and
interviews the candidate. The
dean receives the committee's
report and then interviews the
candidate. If on campus, the
president also interviews the
candidate.
The Board of Regents then
makes the final decision.
"Selecting new faculty mem-bers
is the most exciting part of
my job," said Brushaber.
For the past three years Brush-aber
has worked as a consultant
on small college campuses around
the country.
"We have a very strong faculty
in comparison to other schools,"
he said. "I am very pleased with
the quality of our faculty and very
confident of them."
Brushaber remarked that the
Ph.D. ratio at Bethel continues to
climb each year and that next
year 75 per cent of Bethel faculty
will hold either their Ph.D. or
some, other terminal degree such
as the Master of Fine Arts in art.

THE CLARION Bethel College Vol. 53, No. 18 March 10, 1978
An important figure in Bethel's
financial future was recently
hired.
Arthur Frantzreb, a consultant
in college resource development
from McLean, Virginia, will be
working as a consultant in long-range
planning.
Bethel's long-range planning
department has several goals for
development in the next five
years.
Among them are: expanding
student services, such as the cof-fee
shop and dining room; devel-opment
of athletic fields; and
construction of an administration
building on the lakefront.
There will also be a new chapel
auditorium, a maintenance build-ing,
expansion of the science
facilities, and expansion of the
seminary.
In order to complete these pro-grams
and declare the new cam-pus
"finished," between $13
million and $20 million must be
raised. Frantzreb's job is to
decide on a precise figure of need
and then formulate a sort of plan
of action in obtaining the money.
He will accomplish the first part
by analyzing Bethel's valid needs.
There is now debate among the
high-level administrators over the
amount needed, and Frantzreb
will have final word in the matter.
Following this, Frantzreb will
conduct a feasibility and
marketing study. The feasibility
for potential study will decide
how much money can be raised.
The marketing study will deter-mine
from where the money will
come.
The special area of interest of
the marketing study will be new
contributing sources. Bethel is in-terested
in tapping the large area
philanthropic community rather
than the BGC.
There will be an appeal to the
BGC for an additional $1.8
million, but the main thrust of the
campaign will be aimed at new
sources in the Twin Cities area.
According to Harvey DeVries,
Bethel's vice president in charge
of long-range planning, "Frant-zreb
is a consultant of reputation
and stature."
He has worked in similar
capacities at several other col-leges
in Minnesota. He helped
Carleton college raise $16.5
million. It is hoped he will have
similar success at Bethel.

The 1978 edition of "Passages"
will be out in mid-May.
The staff consists of Darrel
Nelson, technical advisor, Denise
Hansen, copy editor, Laurie
Beeker, design editor, and Steve
Johnson, photographer. The
group optimistically looks for-ward
to its appearance this spring.
"Passages" is a 48-page, color-illustrated
product of about six
concentrated months of planning,
organizing, and editing.
One problem this and past staff
members have been confronted
with is students' dissatisfaction
with the magazine. "Passages" is
not a yearbook substitute, rather,
it attempts to remember Bethel in
its pages without picturing every
club, event, and student in an
elaborate publication.
"Passages" is easier, cheaper,
and an appropriate response to a
formidable lack of student in-terest,
funds,and an editor for the
deceased "Spire." As editor
Denise Hansen stated, "It is more
and different" than an annual.
The purpose of the magazine is
to represent the experience of at-tending
Bethel college in words
and pictures. This year's
"Passages" does just this. Though
it is "not as serious" as the '77 edi-tion,
it is an effective compilation
of reflections and reminiscences.
Last year, the complaint among
students was that though
"Passages" adequately remember-ed
Bethel through literary exposi-tion,
illustrations of walls, rocks,
and buildings had little to say
about school or the school year.
The '78 edition of "Passages" con-tains
a greater number of "people
shots," its editors reported.
"Passages," in a revitalized
combination of color and con-tinuity,
promises to creatively ex-plore
the "changes we go
through" while at Bethel.
